Comments on Keygeek T2 switches | Comments on BSUN Maple Sugar switches |
Keygeek T2 is an OG style linear switch designed by MZ Studio and manufactured by Keygeek. A few features that make them special is: Scratchiness, BUT still feels smooth (?), Super loud and clacky. This is Keygeek's first switch that uses the POM+Kevlar blend, which is a great material choice for a solid and clacky bottom out sound. Both the N1 top housing and the P1 bottom housing are well-balanced "clacky" materials which give the T2 switch a nice, full, and clacky sound profile. The G1 stem and N1 top housing come with a sandy surface texture which is where the scratchy feeling come from – Unikeys. | The BSUN Maple Sugar linear switches are one of BSUN’s most impressive recent releases, delivering a deep, thocky sound profile with a lively pop on bottom-out. Built using new molds, these switches showcase tighter housings, reduced wobble, and improved consistency, all while keeping the smoothness BSUN is known for – LumeKeebs. BSUN Maple Sugar switches are overall thocky (or deep and loud sounding). The S3 material, despite its novel code name, is a POM blend plastic. The POM top housing makes sure the top-out doesn't sound too sharp or loud and is still smooth enough when paired with an S3 stem. Because both the top housing and the stem are made of POM material, you can hear a very slight scratch sound when you put the switch right next to your ears. You won't be able to feel the scratch, however. The modified nylon bottom housing is the key ingredient here as it livens up the overall sound signature to make it more poppy – Unikeys. |
